A nice little town originally for alternative types but now pretty much an outer suburb of Cairns.

Just short of Kuranda is a turn off to Black Mountain Road which leads into a forestry trail, a nice little ride through the rainforest on some pretty good dirt. I cruised along mostly in third, up to about 60-70km/hr on the good bits, slowing down for corrugations and bumps.

I wandered up the track for about 20km before looking at the map and finding the trail keeps going for a lot longer than i had time for, so I eventually turned tail at a Creek called Flaggy and headed back home, here are some pics anyway. Yes gravel.... that's what i'm after.....
